| Message | We again ask how this is communism? Or even socialist? We are the anti-fascist, the polar opposite. How can we be fascist, when we support open borders, are anti-nationalist (though not against patriotism) and support cutting the defense budget? We ask that theFRP stop the smears. |

| Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |
